What a great day! Sun was shining, wind was almost non existent, temperature in the 50's which is not normal for Kansas in January. Drove to an outdoor range 45min away that has steel to shoot. I took 200 rounds of Winchester 124gr NATO, 100 rds of PMC 115gr, 100rds of Herters 115 gr, 50 rds of Brown Bear 115gr steel case and 50rds of 115gr Winchester steel case. The NATO went downrange first with no failures. PMC, Herters and Brown Bear had no failures. The second round of the Winchester steel failed to feed and the other 48rds fed without issue. I'm a happy camper! Before I went out, I cleaned the gun and otherwise ran the stock gun with six different magazines. The gun was perfect but the operator needs some practice. The brown bear stuff seemed lighter on the recoil. When I was loading the Winchester steel case in the mags, the rounds seemed to have some kind of coating that wasn't slick. I was sure that they weren't going to feed at all but was glad I was wrong. The next steps are to dip my toe in the IDPA or USPSA pond and add an Elite!

Welcome!
Sounds like you're going down the same path I took.
SFX->FS Elite->Elite Combat...couldn't stop myself!

I bought the SFX with the intentions of it being a Comp gun. It's been heavily modified and fun to shoot!!!
You'll enjoy IDPA and USPSA. Always meeting super nice people willing to give advice.
I'm flying down to SC in March, my son and I are shooting the USPSA Low Country Battle at the Beach - 2019 South Carolina Section Championship. First level II match for both of us. He's young (25) and a good shooter, so I'm expecting him to kick my butt!

I your going to be around KC sometime let me know and we can do some shooting at Pioneer. They have trap, 2 rifle ranges and around 5 pistol bays for different shooting disciplines. The falling plate range is great with 2 - 12 plate racks.

“Good luck” might be relative. Lol. When I took it out of the box and saw how tacky it felt, I was disappointed. One failure to feed out of 50rds isn’t good for any ammunition in my book although I realize it could’ve been worse.
